We are very concerned about the ability to preserve the jobs and livelihoods presently supported by the company, if forced to relocate due to the London Resort scheme. Although LRCH has put forward an enhanced compensation package on certain terms, our concern relates to the time that will be available to find, secure and relocate to alternative premises. If this time is insufficient, the jobs and livelihoods supported by the company will be lost and this goes beyond compensation for the closure of the business. The compulsory purchase process provides a minimum of only three months to relocate which is not sufficient to find, secure and relocate a business to alternative premises. We believe a realistic minimum is 12 months and suggest that LRCH should be allowing this level of flexibility to allow businesses to relocate successfully and preserve existing jobs and livelihoods.
